agreed - i can certainly see why some would be upset when they find out about differences, however.

Of course....one takes on faith the veracity of the representation of the seller.
Keep in mind that, where the Clapton is concerned, ME has been pretty much open and above board about the salient differences in the builds as one goes up the ladder. We certainly did peel the potato clean researching your project. Yet there were still those two wrinkles, coming to light, which were a surprise. Consider this....say that Clapton orders a new guitar, takes fancy to a particular grain of maple, and says, as he has been known to say...."I'll have that". It doesn't mean that the specs on his series are now going to change across the board. He's pretty much set those in stone as of this writing, and they won't change unless he deems it so. [At this point however, I wouldn't disagree with anyone opining that the TBX tone pot, and the standard vintage tuners should be replaced with what is currently on his stage guitars.Them's small potatoes in my eyes. No pun intended.] Unfortunately, anyone not privy to these Forums will be at a disadvantage with respect to information until they find there way here for enlightenment.

I suppose that it wouldn't hurt to suggest to any and all moderators lurking about that they recommend to the artist that he authorize a change in the current specs to include a standard tone pot and staggered tuners in future model years.
:idea: :idea:

A gentle nudge, nothing more. :wink:
